18th Avenue (Kansas City nightmare) by Cat Stevens
CAPO: 2nd Fret
VERSE 1:
AD
Well, I rode awhile for a mile or so,
EmA
Down the road to the 18th Avenue,
AD
And the people I saw were the people I know,
EmA
And they all came down to take a view,
AD
The path was dark and borderless,
EmA
Down the road to the 18th Avenue,
AD
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
CBb
That I used to use only yesterday,
ADC
Meanings just dropped to the ground,
GADCBb
I tried to remember what I thought and what I used to say,
FEb
Don’t let me go down, no, don’t let me go!

VERSE 2:
BbEb
Oh, my hands were tied as I struggled inside
DbB

BbEbDb

AbBbEbDbB

GbE

And the people I saw were the people I know,

The path was dark and borderless,
EmA
Down the road to the 18th Avenue,
AD
But my head felt better as I turned the car,
CBb
And the airport slowly came in view,
ADCG
‘One mile’ said the sign! Woh-oh!
ADCBb
I checked my bags and made it straight to end Gate 22,
FEb
"Made it just in time...
BbFEbFGA
Boy, you made it just in time!"
